Trio for violin, 'cello, and percussion
2010, 10-15 minutes
Trio was written for the Music10 composition workshop in Blonay, Switzerland. I have been working for quite some time to pare down my notation to the bare minimum that the performers will require in order to perform a piece that sounds composed and not improvised at random. In Trio, I leave a lot of space to the performers to decide things like the length and placement of each note, the number of repetitions of a figure, and articulations and dynamics while providing signposts that allow them to stay together by listening to and watching each other.
